Is your heart big enough To love something new? Big enough to love Without judgement? Are we capable of such love anymore? Capable to be open? Why do we guard our hearts with such ironclad ideals? Are we so afraid that we will be betrayed? I fear we have invented a new type of love A selective love A love we revel in Simply because there is an iota of it Perhaps I'm wrong And disconnected from the world But the more I see the world act I feel that a shift has taken place And the old children stories Of love and acceptance Are bygones of a forgotten age

What We've Lost
Is your heart big enough To love something new? Big enough to love Without judgement? Are we capable of such love anymore? Capable to be open? Why do we guard our hearts with such ironclad ideals? Are we so afraid that we will be betrayed? I fear we have invented a new type of love A selective love A love we revel in Simply because there is an iota of it Perhaps I'm wrong And disconnected from the world But the more I see the world act I feel that a shift has taken place And the old children stories Of love and acceptance Are bygones of a forgotten age
